Roto Champ
Every NFL team scored as a roto fantasy team. The title the NFL never hands out.
▶How is it scored?
Lineup: every team is its best possible starting lineup by that season’s fantasy points. QB · RB · RB · WR · WR · WR · TE · FLEX, in ½PPR.
Scoring: football is a points game, not categories. The lineup’s total ½PPR points is the team’s score, and the highest total wins the title.
A team can be Roto Champ without winning the real title: that gap is the whole fun.

The San Francisco 49ers won the 1998 Roto Champ with 1433.5 points, 106.5 ahead of the Minnesota Vikings. Steve Young led the way with 356.2 points, 25 percent of the lineup. The lineup leans on its quarterback more than most: 25 percent of the total, about 40 percent above what that slot gave the average team this season. Their flex spot went to a running back, Marc Edwards. No one slot decided this. The San Francisco 49ers were ahead at four of five, most of all at quarterback.
